New Episode!

This week we dive head-first into the world of purchasing and buying groups with Jeff Iloulian CEO of Host GPO.

Link to listen, watch, and receive an EXCLUSIVE no BS 3 month HostGPO FREE Membership 🔥 👊 https://thenobspodcast.co/episode/e115-with-jeff-iloulian/

Jeff's entry into the industry was unconventional (like many of us), as he found himself involved in unique lease arbitrage deals for properties between renovations in the mid-2010s.

The idea to start a group purchasing organization (GPO) "selfishly" came to meet his purchasing needs as a better and more efficient way to set up and supply his units.

This is a great fast-moving episode- tune in!
